[Classes 20(i), 20(ii) and 20(iv)] A building comprises a load-bearing skeletal metal frame and wall sections of timber frames covered by upper and lower panels of suitable material. The frame comprises box section stanchions 10 each built up from two channel sections 101, Fig. 5, welded together and reinforced with side plates 102 at intervals. Horizontal beams 11, 12 at intermediate floor levels unite the stanchions, the beams 11 being of channel section and the beams 12 are lattice girders built up from spaced parallel. channel sections 121 braced by square section rods 122 welded thereto. At roof level the stanchions are united by pairs of angle sections 111 connected at intervals by flat battens 112, and by roof trusses 13. Purlins 14 are of lattice section comprising channel section longitudinals 141 and flat crossmembers 142, 143. The wall sections which extend from ground to eaves level comprise timber frames covered by upper and lower panels, with apertures for doors and windows. The upper panels 15 are of metal sheet, e.g. aluminium, the edges of adjacent panels being turned outwardly at 151 and covered by a jointing strip 16 of hardwood, metal &c. secured by screws. The lower parts of the panels 15 are formed as drip flashing overhanging the upper edges of the lower panels and reinforced by a wood stringer 19.

Patent GB-715456-A (GB)
Abstract: 715,456. Inductors. PHILIPS ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES, Ltd. Dec. 5, 1952 [Dec. 10, 1951], No. 30927/52. Class 38(2) A coil system for use in intermediate frequency amplifiers comprising two inductively coupled app roxi ma tel y aligned coils 7, 21, the inductance of each being variable by means of associated movable powdered iron cores 15, 17, respectively, which cores, when viewed in an axial direction, do not overlap and when viewed in a radial direction and with the cores displaced towards each other to the fullest extent do not overlap, is characterized in that one of the coil windings 7, when viewed in the axial direction, surrounds the two cores 15, 17 whereas the other coil winding 21 surrounds only one 17 of the cores. The insulating coil former 1 externally is of rectangular shape and has two bores 9, 11, the core 15 screwing directly in the bore 9 through the agency of a spring member 23, a further insulating former 19 being located in the bore 11 in which former 19 the core 17 screws with the aid of another spring member 25. The coil 7, which is adapted to attenuate a given frequency in an intermediate frequency signal, is wound around the former 1 and, since it is necessary that the circuit of which this coil forms a part should have a fairly good quality Q, the coil is located on the former 1 remote from a chassis 5. The coil 21, which forms a coupling element between two intermediate frequency amplifying valves, is required to transmit a very wide frequency band and must accordingly have a low quality Q; it is therefore wound around the end of the insulating former 19 adjacent the chassis 5.

Patent GB-2027100-A (GB)
Title: Lathing Formations in Lintels
IPC: E04C3/02
Filed: 1978-07-29
Abstract: Plaster keying formations are provided integrally with a structural sheet metal member forming part of a lintel of generally box section. The keying formations each comprise a strip of metal having both its ends integrally connected with the main sheet of metal but having its central portion pressed out of the plane of the metal in a generally V-shape with the metal strip having been plastically deformed. Because the force causing plastic deformation is then removed, the deformed metal strip has some rigidity and contributes to the overall strength of the sheet metal member, in spite of having been deformed out of the plane of the sheet. By use of such plaster keying formations integral with the structural parts of the lintel, it is possible to avoid having to attach separate conventional plaster keying material such as mesh. <IMAGE>

Title: Polymerizable coating composition containing polymerizable epoxide compound and vinyl chloride dispersion polymer and method of coating utilizing same and coated articles produced thereby
IPC: C08J3/24
Filed: 1980-03-13
Abstract: A polymerizable coating composition comprises 35-80 parts of an epoxy prepolymer material and 20-65 parts of a vinyl chloride dispersion polymer together with 0.5-10 percent by weight, based upon the weight of the epoxy prepolymer material, of a photoinitiator which decomposes upon exposure to electromagnetic radiation to initiate polymerization of the epoxy prepolymer material. The coating is applied to the surface of a substrate and then exposed to a source of electromagnetic radiation to decompose the photoinitiator and initiate polymerization of the epoxy prepolymer material to a tack-free surface condition in which the vinyl chloride polymer is dispersed within the epoxy polymer. This is desirably effected by maintaining the coating at a temperature of about 50-90 DEG  C. for a limited time following exposure to radiation. After the coating has been cured to a tack-free condition, it is desirably baked at a temperature of at least 150 DEG  C. to effect substantial fusion of the vinyl chloride polymer and cross-linking of the epoxy polymer.
